"You all no doubt remember McFly, the guy that won a legit eBay auction for a slightly used Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T for $16,125. Problem was that the seller – Glenn Hyundai of Lexington, KY – felt the car was worth more ($19,700) and refused to sell it to McFly. They claim they set a reserve price (even though they didn't) and wouldn't budge. End of story..."

I would avoid buying cars from any auto dealership who will renege on a legal contract. As far as I'm concered they are saving $3500 only to get a whole bunch of negative press.... and as anyone knows, negative press hurts the bank account. grrrrr

So ya want to contribute to this guys fight... call the dealer and let them know how you feel. Ask them about their $16,125 Hyundai special. I bet you get hung-up upon. 800-880-5020. If you really want to help out, pass this story along.

I really should be disappointed in Kansas City's effort to clear the roads... yet this level of disappointment is just normal. While driving we only saw one snow truck. Ah, the mayor (Funkhouser) probably used the snow removal money elsewhere (insert any Funkhouse news scandal story here... they all work).

What I don't really understand is how the city budgets so little money for snow removal. We live in the midwest. We get snow. Why is the city so surprised by this ever single year.

Kansas City, MO did a poor job of clearing the roads, so most of the roads were packed down snow and ice. I'm sure that tow truck drivers had a good day here in KC. Before the sun came out my wife and I saw one van go into the ditch and many more already off the road... stuck... waiting to be towed.
